Congrats Shem and to all the Southern Sudanese people. This will be a popular domain name not only in South Sudan but with the web users as a whole. I can't help imagining names like go.ss cla.ss plus many other interesting names. I hope it will be unrestricted like Somalia's .so for the benefit of the global internet community(a good source of foreign exchnage earnings for South Sudan :-) ) ________________________________ From: Shem Ochuodho <shemochuodho@yahoo.com> To: sochanji@yahoo.com Cc: I-Network Uganda <i-network@dgroups.org>; EThinkTank Tanzania <ethinktanktz@yahoogroups.com>; PICTA Kenya-LIst <picta-kenya@yahoogroups.com>; KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2011 8:54 AM Subject: [kictanet] SOUTH SUDAN - Dot-SS Internet Domain - We Got IT!
